How old are you that your birthday is so important that you need full range of motion in both of your arms? If you went there for the sake of a sick newborn, you probably should have just manned up and finished off the last half bag.
I donated some blood

Poor baby you left hanging,
Ok that was mean. You was in a mess up situation, so I don't know what I would have done myself. BTW Type O Negative the band Rocks
Hope the baby has a better doctor than tweedle dum and tweedle dee.
Draw it yourself and ebay it.
Donating blood is stupid. If they're going to sell it, they better ing pay the donor too.
I wouldn't be able to drive home with no arms in bad weather and I wouldn't be able to enjoy my birthday with my fiance. We had plans.
Secondly, I wasn't about to trust them with my OTHER arm after what they did to the first one.
You may be interested in knowing there are non blood subs utes that work much better then blood.
Also zero complications ie AIDS, Hep, 242 other bugs that can and often are transmitted via blood transfusions.
Whaaaaaaat?
carry oxygen much better, many other functions.
I can pm you how to access all the information. It could be too upsetting to many who have been told blood is the way and the only way.
Used to be a "funny because it's true" joke circulating in NYCity hospitals.
What kind of patients do not take blood transfusions?
"Only surgeons, doctors and nurses."
Part of my job involves research using HBOCs (hemoglobin-based oxygen carrying solutions). If you think they are as good as blood with "zero complications", you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Ever heard of pulmonary hypertension? Ever heard of the Baxter clinical trial which showed increased mortality with HBOCs in a randomized study?
The following is a link to an article published in May 2008 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. There is considerable controversy about this article and the methods used to draw its conclusions, and it is probably too critical of HBOCs, but it at least points out some of the issues with using them:

HBOCs may ultimately have some clinical usage in specific situations, but to say that they are already available as an all-purpose replacement for blood is just flat wrong.
Just post it, PM? what are you CIAblood unit?
Obviously you or a loved one has never been in a situation where blood products were needed.
woops, typo.
But they don't just give my blood away, right? If my blood is being sold, I better be getting paid for it.
FALSE!!! There is no real subs ute for blood.
Actually, those blood subs utes are still in testing, and they are still so dangerous that they don't tell you they're using them or ask your permission.
To be honest, I don't know the economics. If they sell it to blood banks just to cover costs, I would think that's acceptable. I doubt if they're making a profit off it.
First, to the OP, sorry for your bad experience.
Otherwide, a number of real civic-minded inDUHviduals posting here. Waiting for Fabbs' response to actual studies proving his point to be totally false. Speaking of which, Fabbs, links to studies supporting your point that disease is "often ... transmitted via blood transfusion" ?
What I know is that if I or a family member needs blood, they get it for free since I donate regularly. If you want to get paid, go give plasma (plus you can give it 2x a week).
Betcha didn't know the Bushes were such a giving bunch, didya?
This is not true either.
Any clinical trial in the US requires "informed consent", which means that either the patient or the patient's legal representative must agree to be enrolled in the study.
One special exception is for trials involving trauma patients (e.g., automobile accidents, shootings, stabbings, etc.). For these trials it is almost impossible to obtain informed consent for each patient, because emergency treatment usually has to start before anyone's permission can be obtained. When somebody wants to conduct a clinical trial under these cir stances, "community informed consent" has been used: representatives from the hospital, community, FDA, and other organizations meet and decide whether or not the trial should be conducted and set the rules and methods for monitoring the effectiveness of the therapy. This process always includes some open forums for any member of the community to attend and present their views.
There is at least one HBOC trial in this country for trauma patients which operates using community informed consent.
I always donate blood.
I have no problem with them if they sell it. Honestly, I'm not that hard up for money, or that selfish to want to be paid for blood that could save someones life.
he needed his other arm to go home and have wank while the vision of the color the nurse and the white nurse was still fresh in his head......ahahahahhaahaha
dude this aint compulsory, you shouldve ask them to do what naughty nurses do to get more clients
I saved that baby, no thanks to MiamiHeat.
